Yes, we can - it's called responsible ownership. I've had intact dogs in my house for more than 7 years, and not once have we had an accident. It's actually not very hard.

Actually, it's luxating patellas - and responsible breeders are trying very hard to eliminate it. BYBs are not.

False. Pet quality puppies go to pet homes. Responsible breeders do everything in their power to prevent their dogs from being dumped in shelters, and when one does end up in a shelter they pull them. Responsible breeders take back any dog, at any time. Responsibly bred puppies come with contracts, and buyers are thoroughly screened. I would be curious to know what kind of application process the OP has for his puppies. Probably nothing near the requirements of responsible breeders.
